The last party...for now!

WHEW!! I think I can finally relax just a bit. After the holidays, things just don't slow down for our family. On December 31, we ring in the New Year with a celebration of Kelsey's life, this year she turned 9. About 2 1/2 weeks later, we are celebrating Madison's 7th birthday. Her birthday is today, we celebrated last night. We had lots of fun with family and friends. The girls had a skating party last weekend with their friends. So for me, I take a big sigh of relief because I made it through another time of year that is full of celebration and can say proudly that I managed to pull it off! Now I sit back and reflect on the fact that Kelsey and Madison are getting older, and I must admit, this is NOT easy for me, it brings tears to my eyes, simply because I have no idea where the time has gone and as fun as it is to see them grow, I really wish I could keep them young!

Happy Birthday Madison!


Big brother, Jake, was right by her side helping her to read the cards and open the gifts....what a sweet boy!

Daisy seemed to enjoy her piece of cake!

Apparently her daddy enjoyed it, too! HA!
